haha. Well we call that hole jeepeater2. Normally the water sit right at about a 31" tire. Last night we had some wicked rain along with all the ice we used to have that is melting out on the land. I got caught up on a tree stump an was stuck in the hole... Driver side front fender was under water, interior flooded out, tranny flooded out as well...

Right now the jeep is im-moble (if thats the right word). Tomorrow I am going to be flushing every fluid in the jeep and see if we cant get her running again... Lesson learned: peer pressure makes for fun times, but a jeep is not a submarine!

Actually this trip I managed to stay fairly clean and dry with the exception of my boots. The only dirt I got on me was from the dog running around in mud puddles then jumpin on me

Sucks man, hope you get it running again. Auto trans and deep water don't mix. At least you had fun.

from the sounds of it, it wouldn't have helped a ton anyway. sounds like his tranny took the brunt of the water damage, not the engne


On the other hand....you have other fingers.

Yeah snorkel would not have done anything (this time). My trans breather is located in the bell housing so it sits quite low and the water ended up bring pretty deep once the jeep went in and dug down
